What are people saying about Cairo

Frank_B, Oct 2026

Food tasting and city tour.

Great food tour. We tried a lot of different foods that we would not have in our own and ate at places we never would have found on our own. We also traveled to many different areas of the city by car and tuk tuk. Our guide knew everyone throughout the city. Great host and experience. Highly recommend this tour.

Cairo Cooking Class with an Egyptian Family

Book it now

12/10 — THE MOST INCREDIBLE, AUTHENTIC EXPERIENCE IN EGYPT. 🇪🇬❤️ I spent 10 days in Egypt, and somehow, this cooking class ended up being one of the absolute highlights of my entire trip — yes, even more than the pyramids! This was SO much more than a cooking class. This beautiful family welcomed us into their HOME with the most open arms and kind hearts. We weren’t treated like tourists, we were welcomed like family. We got to experience real, authentic Egyptian culture, learn so much, share incredible food, and connect with the kindest humans. The food was so unbelievably delicious that my mouth is STILL watering just thinking about it! And in a gesture that genuinely touched my heart, they gifted us a beautiful handmade Egyptian rug. 🥹❤️ That level of generosity, thoughtfulness, and love is something I will never forget. It wasn’t just a gift, it was a piece of their home and culture that I get to bring home with me, and it made the entire experience even more personal and meaningful. There is something so special about being invited into someone’s home, sharing a meal, learning their traditions, and connecting with people despite coming from completely different parts of the world. This family reminded me what travel is REALLY about the people, the culture, the stories, and the memories that stay with you long after you leave. To my Egyptian family: THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for welcoming us, feeding us, teaching us, sharing your home and culture with us, and making us feel so loved. I will carry this experience with me forever. ❤️🇪🇬 If you are visiting Egypt, PLEASE DO THIS EXPERIENCE. Don’t think twice. Book it. Go with an open heart and an empty stomach. You will leave with a full belly, a fuller heart, and memories you simply cannot get from sightseeing alone!!!!!! 12/10 recommend. The most raw, genuine, beautiful, and authentic experience. This wasn't just a cooking class, it was a memory of a lifetime. ❤️ إلى عائلتي المصرية، شكرًا من كل قلبي على كل شيء. شكرًا جزيلًا🇪🇬🤍

Wonderful time!

A lot of food for the money. I was extra full by the end. Wonderful food spots. Guides are very passionate about Egypt and very knowledgeable. Food is delicious. You really feel like you’re trying local spots and not touristy spots but still getting a great overall experience. It’s not over burdensome in terms of walking either yet you still get a good feel of the area. It’s truly an enjoyable experience that I highly recommend trying!

Great local experience

Eat like a local! Our guide Amira is very experienced and took us to restaurants where Egyptians would definitely eat - breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert. The drive through a crowded market where locals would get fresh fruits, veggies and meats gives you a glimpse of what daily life would be if you lived in Giza or Cairo.

Cairo Nights Food Tour with 15+ Tastings

Off the tourist beaten path

I couldn't have asked for a better way to spend the last afternoon of 2025! This Cairo Nights Food Tour was an absolute masterclass in Egyptian hospitality and local flavor. Huge thanks to our guide, Joay! He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly with our small group, my wife and myself, and made us feel like we were exploring the city with a local friend rather than just a tour group. We wandered through the stunning backstreets of El-Darb El-Ahmar and El Gamaliya. Starting near the Al-Azhar Mosque provided such an atmospheric and historic backdrop for the evening. As a tourist you would probably not take those paths we did. They aren't kidding about the 10+ tastings. From the smoky charcoal-grilled meats to the authentic local desserts, every stop offered something unique and delicious.

Eating Our Way Through Downtown Cairo

What an unforgettable food experience in Cairo! Every stop on this tour was bursting with flavour and authenticity. The hawawishi was absolutely mouth-watering — a deep-fried golden crust with perfectly spiced, juicy fillings. My son summed it up best by calling it “Egyptian pizza” 😄. We then enjoyed foul sandwiches, with rich, slow-cooked fava beans tucked into warm, soft pita bread — simple, comforting, and incredibly satisfying. The highlight was finishing with koshari at the world-famous Abou Tarek, followed by a rice milk dessert that was the perfect way to cool down the tummy after the bold flavours of the koshari. Portion sizes were extremely generous — we were pleasantly full and still took plenty of leftovers home! A huge shout-out to Mohamed , our awesome guide. He was knowledgeable about every dish and expertly guided us through the busy, traffic-congested streets of downtown Cairo while sharing fascinating food stories along the way. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to truly taste Cairo. One small request: please bring back the pigeon tasting to the street food menu — it would be an incredible addition!
